**Welcome to Miss Bachata & Miss Salsa!** **Spring is in the air, and with it comes the promise of new beginnings, fresh energy, and the joy of connection!** As the season of renewal unfolds, we invite you to step into the rhythm of community, dance, and celebration at Miss Bachata & Miss Salsa. My objective has always been to create a different kind of social gathering—one that is open, non-judgmental, and safe. A place where you can meet people just like you, where socializing and dancing come together to help build community and tear down the walls that separate us. Here, we make new friends, feel a sense of belonging, and enjoy the calmness that comes from knowing we are in a safe and welcoming space. Many times, I have been asked, “Why host an event on Monday night?” Many people escape on the weekend and dread Mondays when they return to work. I believe that if you dance and socialize on a Monday, you infuse your week with joy and positive energy, giving your life balance and helping you face your challenges with enthusiasm and confidence. We’re also thrilled to announce that our trial of advanced Bachata lessons, which began last September, has been a resounding success! Building on this momentum, we’re excited to offer an enhanced schedule for 2026. Our dance evenings will now feature three hours of classes: one hour of beginner to intermediate Bachata, one hour of advanced Bachata, and one hour of beginner to intermediate Salsa. As always, the entrance fee remains $15 for a night of 2 lessons and social dancing. For those interested in the advanced Bachata lessons, there will be an additional $5 fee. Here’s our updated schedule: **Miss Bachata – Main Ballroom** 🕖 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm: Beginner to Intermediate Bachata Lesson (No partner required) 🕗 8:00 pm – 12:00 am: Social Dancing **Miss Salsa – Round Room** 🕖 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm: Advanced Bachata Lesson (+$5) **NEW** 🕗 8:00 pm – 9:00 pm: Beginner to Intermediate Salsa Lesson 🕘 9:00 pm – 12:00 am: Social Dancing ✨ **Additional Details:** ✔️ Free Parking ✔️ Full Bar (Free Water, Beer: $5.75) Over the past decade, organizing Latin dancing events in Mississauga has been a labor of love. Our mission has always been to foster a sense of community, proving that the connections we share are far stronger than the differences that divide us. Loneliness is a growing concern, with over half of U.S. adults and many Canadians experiencing its effects. The COVID-19 pandemic has only heightened this issue. Harvard University's long-term study on happiness, which began in 1938, highlights the detrimental impact of loneliness on health. People with strong social connections experience slower mental and physical decline and greater overall happiness compared to those who are isolated. Here are some key findings from the study: 🌿 Close ties help delay mental and physical decline more than money, fame, social class, IQ, or genetics. 🌿 Relationship satisfaction is a better predictor of aging well than cholesterol levels in middle age. 🌿 A strong sense of community improves memory function. 🌿 Loneliness can be as harmful to health as smoking or alcoholism. And there’s hope! Strengthening our relationships and supporting community initiatives can combat loneliness and build healthier, happier lives. Miss Bachata & Miss Salsa provides a wonderful opportunity to make new friends, expand your social circle, and enjoy a safe, welcoming, authentic environment. Bring your open heart and a smile, and we’ll take care of the rest. 🌸 **Cheers to a season of renewal, joy, and community!** 🌸 **Anna G.** https://www.facebook.com/groups/1871491806494168/ https://www.facebook.com/EventsByAnnaG

The talk will cover a series of approaches, ranging from triplet-based contrastive learning defenses to honeypot-style defenses designed to avoid worst-case behavior. He will also discuss patterns observed in contest-winning manual jailbreaking prompts, ideas for tamper-resistant safeguards, and the current limits of attacks, defenses, and evaluation methodologies. ​**Event Schedule** 6:00 to 6:30 - Food and introductions 6:30 to 7:30 - Presentation and Q&A 7:30 to 9:00 - Open Discussions ​​​If you can't attend in person, join our live stream starting at 6:30 pm via [this link](https://www.youtube.com/@Trajectory-Labs/live).

But for Quality Engineering leaders, the real opportunity is much bigger. AI is not just a tool for execution - it’s a force multiplier for decision-making. It can synthesize fragmented data, reveal hidden patterns, connect siloed systems, and elevate quality from reporting metrics to driving strategy. At the 12th Toronto Meetup, we shift the conversation from tactical AI usage to strategic quality intelligence - and what that means for modern QE leadership. **Event Details** * Date: March 25th, 2026 * Time: 06:00 PM – 09:00 PM EST * Venue: 688 Richmond St. W. (3rd floor) Session: AI as a Force Multiplier for QE Leaders Speaker: Puneet Randhawa, Director of Quality Engineering, StackAdapt About the Session While AI can generate tests and automation scripts, its greatest value for QE leaders lies in connecting the dots. In this session, Puneet shares practical, real-world ways QE leaders can use AI to: * Connect data from Jira, CI pipelines, Slack, monitoring tools, and more through MCP servers * Build custom GPTs for defect trend analysis and regression intelligence * Transform raw dashboards into actionable, forward-looking insights This talk focuses on operating at a higher strategic altitude - shifting from tracking metrics to building systems that generate clarity, alignment, and informed decision-making. If you’re leading QE in a fast-moving organization, this session will help you rethink how AI can amplify your impact. **Key Takeaways** * How QE leaders can use AI to connect siloed quality data into meaningful insights * Practical examples of MCP servers and custom GPTs in QE workflows * How to transition from reactive reporting to proactive, insight-driven leadership * Ways to elevate quality from operational support to strategic advantage **About the Speaker** Puneet Randhawa is the Director of Quality Engineering at StackAdapt, with over 15 years of experience building and scaling QE teams in high-growth tech environments. She is passionate about transforming quality from a support function into a strategic differentiator - leveraging data, automation, and now AI to enable smarter decisions and stronger outcomes. Puneet actively mentors emerging QE leaders and shares practical insights from the field, focusing on how modern quality engineering can influence business strategy and organizational impact. **Why You Should Attend** * Gain a leadership-level perspective on AI in quality engineering * Learn how to leverage AI beyond automation use cases * Discover practical methods to turn metrics into intelligence * Connect with Toronto’s QE and technology leaders * Be part of The Test Tribe’s 12th Toronto Meetup **About The Test Tribe** The Test Tribe is the world’s largest software testing community, empowering testers globally since 2018.

Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively. This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way. **YouTube Link** TBA
